Thinking of making the move on JT also.

Was going to go JT > Friend but then I will be playing JMK/Douie/Carty with out a certain starter half so ended up going JT > Widdop.

I am weary of Widdop because he has burned me in previous years after having some good weeks.

I could trade Carty to JMK (which is a little risky) then I can get a gun for JT (probably go for DCE). I worry about having JMK as my starter.

Here is how it works. If you have 3 origin players and 9 playing round 13 and 9 playing round 17 at the moment, you would need to use 8 trades to get to 17 playing in round 13. You now have 3 origin players and just 1 due to play in round 17!! The max trades possible is 12 between rounds 13 and 17, so the most you can have in round 17 is 13 playing, by burning 20 trades to do it!

I have 0 origin players and can play 16 and 17 the 2 bye rounds. Planning ahead should get me a lot of points over those in the lead that haven't planned well for the byes.

It’s a good thing the world is perfect and injuries, suspensions and left field origin selections don’t ever occur.

To think the guy coming first played Carty and had Kikau in the Emerg.

Leading by 40 after 2 rounds, could have been 70.

With TPJ being out for 2 weeks should I hold or sell?

Who are your halves? JT, Carty, Douie?

Just JT, Carty and Croker in my emergencys, so not much depth there. My halves are easily the weakest part of my team.

I'm holding.

With Watson out is Lamb on anyones radar?

They will, you plan for what you can control, other stuff will happen that is beyond your control. I am trying to be deliberate in selections, even trying to avoid the possibility of accidentally picking an origin bolter. Kiwis and Brits are great options there.

Maybe. Once he stops bleeding cash and we have a clearer idea on his role. Happy to wait a week and see. Cpuld be a good swap for Doueihi

Not cheap enough for me. Can't see him making a lot of cash.

Thanks @wolfking. You ditching Lichaa this week lol. I think I will ditch Mitchell as well to bulk up my 2RFs,problem is I don't know who to pick lol

Thanks for all the help already this year lads.

MyTVBroke; foot rub, gummy? Just name it.....

My question revolves around that lovable English Ginger James Graham....3 weeks in a row now he has posted 30ish, lost me $56k in value, and in short has to go.

Current team got 855 and had me 293/1300 which although early days still eclipses any of last years rookie season rubbish:

Macca
Graham NAS
RFM Merrin Arrow
Widdop99 Doughy
Gagai Kennar
Isaako Ponga Teddy

Cook Murray Thompson Carty

Kikau Havili L.Croker Nicholls

5K kitty

Im thinking Kikau/Arrow to prop, and Tohu or Whitehead into 2RF. Would sell Nicholls for Whitehead, but would have to go up the pecking order a bit to secure Tohu.

Thoughts??

Thanks, Adam.

I'm happy enough to hold MItchell, but I'm trading Mitchell to MBye most probably.

Hey MTB,

Not sure if everyone else has this problem. When i'm on the BE page and I search a player I cant see what I am typing, its just blank. Just a head up mate otherwise top job mate

I am really tempted this week to pick someone >2% ownership this week and see how I go

For those wanting to bring in rochow.. Elijah Taylor is out for another 3 weeks at Min with hammy and from reports from nsw cup, McQueen is a long way from an nrl call up

So you're saying that he's pretty much guaranteed his spot?

Katoa -> JMK
Carty -> Rochow

Seems pretty good. Get JMK's points for a while and cash rises as long as Dogs play well and he keeps his spot
Carty to Rochow is a pretty good swap too. Rochow against the eels this week, hopefully gets a few LB's running at those halves!!

Rochow getting a LB? That’s a bit of fantasy if I’ve ever heard it! But he is solid that’s for sure.
